Sir,
I shall be much obliged to you to let me know if the Council
intend sending any thing from Carolina. I have some thoughts
of going out to S^t Eustatia, in case I do not go to Carolina to
do the business for you. I shall also be much oblig^d to you if
you will p this opp^y Cap^t Martin inform M^r Vanbibber of
what he may expect and whether or no you intend sending
any thing from Carolina, as I have mentioned it to him, tho'
could not positively say whether you would send any thing
from there or not. You will please excuse my taking the
liberty of writing you on this matter, as it is a requisition by
M^r Vanbibber of me. Your answer as soon as possible will
oblige Your Hble Serv^t
John Crockett
